Answer:

7.92%

Weight of package at home = 20.2 ounces.

Weight of the package at the office = 18.6ounces

Decrement = 20.2 - 18.6

percentage error = decrement/wt at home * 100

percentage error = 1.6/20.2* 100

percentage error = 160/20.2

percentage error = 7.92

HEnce  the percent error in the weight of the package is 7.92%

A(a-bx)/x=2/3<br> PLEASE
RSB [31]

Answer:

This cannot be solved but it can be simplified

first we open the bracket

so we have

a²- abx/x = 2/3

next we cross multiply so it will be 3(a² - abx) = 2x

we get

3a² - 3abx = 2x

Next we factorise so we can get

3a(a-bx) =2x

I dont know what exactly you where asked but I hop this helps
